| How olds my bike? | |

| According to Mario Colombo's book,The Complete History, the | |
| police and military NF's had frame numbers from NF 00 AA to | |
| frame NF 99 GH. | |
| I don't know how this system works but my bike must be an early | |
| one,with frame number NF 04 AT | |
| My frame is also stamped DGM 63570M | |
| Does anyone know how the system works? | |

| Hello, my name is Vince, and I just introduced myself on the | |
| relevant section of the forum; | |
| The numbering sistem of the NF is very simple; it starting from | |
| NF 00 AA and continue with NF01AA , NF 02 AA | |
| untill NF 99 AA ( and every hundred bikes change the | |
| alphabetical letter) the next will be NF 00 AB and so on till | |
| NF 99 AB ,in this way continued NF 00 AC ...etc;till the last | |
| number; with this sistem you can made an estimation how hold is | |
| your bike; | |
| To know the exact date of production the best way is to ask the | |
| Certificate of Origine to Piaggio via the Moto Guzzi site it | |
| cost approx 90 � if I remember well; | |
| Regards, | |
| Vince | |

| I had thought this was how it works,but this cannot explain how | |
| the last bike made was NF 99 GH. | |

| I'm not an expert in mathematic but I suppose that when the | |
| second letter of the series is reaching the NF99AZ | |
| than the first letter moving to NF 00 BA till is reaching NF 99 | |
| GH ; | |
| NF - two numbers (00 to 99) - two letters (AA to GH); | |
| Every 100 numbers, change a letter (AA, AB, .... AZ, BA etc.). | |
| ( remind that 13400 NF Military have been produced) | |
| Hoping that this will help you in order to know how many bikes | |
| were produced before your NF, bearing in mind that the italian | |
| alphabet do not foreseen letter J -K-W- X- Y ;) | |

| Thanks Vince | |
| My black military is 39 AB and the engine is stamped in three | |
| places as follows: | |
| 1. front left main casing at sump level 86 | |
| 2. front right main casing at sump level A 86 tho the (A) looks | |
| a little different in the depth of the marking ??? | |
| 3. front of the right side (clutch) casing 86 next to the small | |
| passage drilling | |
| I don't know if the engine numbers mean anything or are just a | |
| matching method on assembly. | |
| This is probably a very early frame 139th if the method is | |
| good. | |
| I do not know a great deal about it except that Leo Tamers | |
| tells me he believes it was the daily ride for his long time | |
| mechanic. The bike has been repainted black with white | |
| pinstriping and has a transfer on the rear mudgaurd under the | |
| top coat of paint (KONINKLIJKE MARECHAUSSEE) The Dutch Military | |
| Police. | |
| I purchased it with Leo's help from the decease estate and | |
| shipped it to Australia 18 mths ago | |

| Hi Contractor, | |
| first of all , congratulation for your NF, | |
| it is correct , with the number NF 39 AB, yours it is the moto | |
| nr.139 produced; ;) | |
| The motor block number is consisting on the letter A followed | |
| with sequential numbers XXXX and is not matching with the frame | |
| number; | |
| Enjoy your NF | |
| Kind regards | |
